 * Support Most if not all articles on the subject follow a specific title format: "Law enforcement in [blank]". "Law enforcement" is clearer than "Policing" and properly reflects the inclusion of non-police actors in law enforcement. Int21h (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Traffic Police
Traffic or transit police (Policías de Tránsito) should be covered in greater detail here (along with the Spanish name) given their numbers and apparently greater reputation for corruption. Also showed up as a major plot element in Belascoaran. — Llywelyn II   19:34, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Sources for future article expansion
Obviously this particular source is biased and not necessarily RS but it and are detailed and well enough sourced to find more dispassionate sources for their major points. In particular, violence against demonstrators and students should be mentioned more here, as well as the absurd percentage of excessive force if the initial surveys are reliable. The claim is INEGI found that in 2016 police only identified themselves in 1/2 of all arrests, took detainees to private sites instead of depts or jails 1/5 of the time, and beat 2/3rds of all detainees including choking or waterboarding 1/3. The numbers seem absurd on their face but it's theoretically from the government's own agency using proper sampling. — Llywelyn II   19:59, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
